"The Messenger of Allah(Peach be upon him) prayed one day, and ascended the pulpit, and he neverused toascend it, before that, except on Fridays. The people werealarmed bythat, and some were standing and some were sitting. Hegestured tothem with his hand, telling them to sit. (Then he said:)'By Allah, Iam not standing here for something that will benefityou, anexhortation or warning. Rather Tamim Dari has come to me andtold mesomething that prevented me from taking a rest because of thejoy anddelight (I felt), and I wanted to spread that joy among you.A cousinof Tamim Dari told me that the wind drove them to an islandthat theydid not know, so they sat in the rowing boats of the shipand set out.There they saw something black, with long eyelashes.They said to it:"What are you?" It said: "I amJassasah," They said: "Tell us." Itsaid: "I willnot tell you anything or ask you anything. Rather thereis thismonastery that you have looked at.

Nawwas bin Sam'an Al-Kilabi said:
"The Messenger of Allah (Peach be upon him)mentioned Dajjal, one morning, as something despised but alsoalarming, until we thought that he was in the stand of date-palmtrees. When we came to the Messenger of Allah (Peach be upon him) in the evening,hesaw that (fear) in us, and said: 'What is the matter with you?' Wesaid: 'O Messenger of Allah, you mentioned Dajjal this morning, andyou spoke of him as something despised but also alarming, until wethought that he was in the stand of date-palm trees.' He said:'Thereare things that I fear more for you than the Dajjal. If heappearswhile I am among you, I will contend with him on your behalf,and ifhe appears when I am not among you, then each man must fend forhimself, and Allah will take care of every Muslim on my behalf. He(Dajjal) will be a young man with curly hair and a protuberant eye; Iliken him to 'Abdul-'Uzza bin Qatan. Whoever among you sees him, lethim recite the first Verses of Surat Al-Kahf over him. He will emergefrom Khallah, between Sham and Iraq, and will wreak havoc right andleft. O slaves of Allah, remain steadfast.' We said: 'O Messenger of Allah, how long will he stay on earth?' He said: 'Forty days, onedaylike a year, one day like a month, one day like a week, and therestof his days like your days.' We said: 'O Messenger of Allah, onthatday which is like a year, will the prayers of one day sufficeus?' Hesaid: 'Make an estimate of time (and then observe prayer).'We said:'How fast will he move through the earth?' He said: 'Likea raincloud driving by the wind.' He said: 'He will come to somepeople andcall them, and they will respond and believe in him. Thenhe willcommand the sky to rain and it will rain, and he will commandtheearth to produce vegetation and it will do so, and their flockswillcome back in the evening with their humps taller, their uddersfullerand their flanks fatter than they have ever been. Then he willcometo some (other) people and call them, and they will reject him,so hewill turn away from them and they will suffer drought and beleftwith nothing. Then he will pass through the wasteland and willsay:"Bring forth your treasures," then go away, and itstreasureswill follow him like a swarm of bees. Then he will call aman brimmingwith youth and will strike him with a sword and cut himin two. Hewill put the two pieces as far apart as the distancebetween an archerand his target. Then he will call him and he willcome with his faceshining, laughing. While they are like that, Allahwill send 'Eisabin Maryam, who will come down at the white minaretin the east ofDamascus, wearing two Mahrud[garment dyed with Warsand then Saffron],resting his hands on the wings of two angels. Whenhe lowers his head,beads of perspiration will fall from it. Everydisbeliever who smellsthe fragrance of his breath will die, and hisbreath will reach as faras his eye can see. Then he will set out andcatch up with him (theDajjal) at the gate of Ludd, and will killhim. Then the Prophet ofAllah 'Eisa will come to some people whomAllah has protected, and hewill wipe their faces and tell them oftheir status in Paradise. Whilethey are like that, Allah will revealto him: "O 'Eisa, I havebrought forth some of My slaves whom noone will be able to kill, sotake My slaves to Tur in safety."Then Gog and Magog will emerge andthey will, as Allah describes,"swoop down from every mound."[21:96]The first of themwill pass by lake Tiberias and drink from it, thenthe last of themwill pass by it and will say: "There was water hereonce."The Prophet of Allah, 'Eisa and his companions will bebesieged thereuntil the head of an ox would be dearer to any one ofthem than onehundred Dinar are to any one of you today. Then, theProphet ofAllah, 'Eisa and his companions will supplicate Allah.Then Allahwill send a worm in their necks and the next morning theywill alldie as one. The Prophet of Allah 'Eisa and his companionswill comedown and they will not find even the space of a hand spanthat isfree of their stink, stench and blood. They will pray toAllah, andHe will send birds with necks like the necks of Bactriancamels,which will pick them up and throw them wherever Allah wills.ThenAllah will send rain which will not leave any house of clay orhair,and it will wash the earth until it leaves it like a mirror (orasmooth rock). Then it will be said to the earth: "Bring forthyourfruits and bring back your blessing." On that day a groupof peoplewill eat from a (single) pomegranate and it will sufficethem, andthey will seek shelter beneath its skin. Allah will bless amilch-camel so that it will be sufficient for a large number ofpeople, anda milch-cow will be sufficient for a whole tribe and amilch-ewe willbe sufficient for a whole clan. While they are likethat, Allah willsend a pleasant wind which will seize them beneaththeir armpits andwill take the soul of every Muslim, leaving therest of the peoplefornicating like donkeys, and upon them will comethe Hour.'"

It was narrated that Abu Umamah Al-Bahili said:
"The Messengerof Allah (Peach be upon him) addressed us, and most of his speech had to do withtelling us about Dajjal. He warned about him, and among the things hesaid was: 'There will not be any tribulation on earth, since the timeAllah created the offspring of Adam, that will be greater than thetribulation of Dajjal. Allah has not sent any Prophet but he warnedhis nation about Dajjal. I am the last of the Prophets, and you arethe last of the nations. He will undoubtedly appear among you. If heappears while I am among you, I will contend with him on behalf ofevery Muslim, and if he appears while I am not among you, then eachman must fend for himself and Allah will take care of every Muslim onmy behalf. He will emerge from Al-Khallah, between Sham and Iraq, andwill wreak havoc right and left. O slaves of Allah, remain steadfast.I will describe him to you in a manner in which none of the Prophetshas described him before me. He will start by saying "I am aProphet," and there is no Prophet after me. Then a second timehe will say: "I am your Lord." But you will not see yourLord until you die. He is one-eyed, and your Lord is not one-eyed,and written between his eyes is Kafir. Every believer will read it,whether he is literate or illiterate. Part of his Fitnah will be thathe will have with him Paradise and Hell, but his Hell will be aParadise and his Paradise a Hell. Whoever is tested with his fire(hell), let him seek the help of Allah and recite the first Verses ofAl-Kahf, then it will be cool and safe for him, as the fire was forIbrahim. Part of his Fitnah will be that he will say to a Bedouin:"What do you think, if I resurrect your father and mother foryou, will you bear witness that I am your Lord?" He will say:"Yes." Then two devils will appear to him in the form ofhis father and mother and will say: "O my son, follow him, forhe is your Lord." And part of his Fitnah will be that he willoverpower a single soul and kill him, then he will cut him with a sawuntil he falls in two pieces. Then he will say: "Look at thisslave of mine; I will resurrect him now, then he will claim that hehas a Lord other than me." Then Allah will resurrect him and theevil one will say to him: "Who is your Lord?" and he willsay: "Allah is my Lord, and you are the enemy of Allah, you areDajjal. By Allah, I have never had more insight about you than I havetoday."
(An addition) Abul-Hasan Tanafisi said: "Muharibi told us: 'Ubaidullah bin al-Walid Al-Wassafi told us, from 'Atiyyah, that Abu Sa'eed said: "The Messenger of Allah (Peach be upon him) said: 'That man will be the highest in status in my nation in Paradise'" - He said: "Abu Sa'eed said: 'By Allah, we did not think that man would be anyone other than 'Umar bin Khattab, until he passed away. - Muharibi said: "Then we went back to the narration of Abu Rafi'." He said: - 'Part of his Fitnah will be that he will command the sky to rain, and it will rain, and he will command the earth to bring forth vegetation and it will do so. And part of his Fitnah will be that he will pass by a clan and they will disbelieve in him, so all their flocks will perish and none will be left. And part of his Fitnah will be that he will pass by a clan who will believe in him, so he will command the sky to rain, and it will rain, and he will command the earth to bring forth vegetation and it will do so, until their flocks will come back in the evening of that day, bigger and fatter than they have ever been, with their flanks stretched and their udders full of milk. There will be no part of the earth left that he does not enter and prevail over, except for Makkah and Al-Madinah, for he will not approach them on any of their mountain paths but he will be met by angels with unsheathed swords, until he will stop at the red hill at the end of the marsh. Then Al-Madinah will be shaken with its people three times, and no hypocrite, male or female, will be left, all will come out to him. Thus it will be cleansed of impurity just as the bellows cleanses the iron of dross. And that day will be called the Day of Deliverance.'"Umm Sharik bint Abi 'akar said: 'O Messenger of Allah, where will the Arabs be that day?' He said: 'On that day they will be few, and most of them will be in Baitul-Maqdis (Jerusalem), and their leader will be a righteous man. When their leader has stepped forward to lead them in subh prayer, 'Eisa bin Maryam will come down to them. Their leader will step backwards so that 'Eisa can come forward and lead the people in prayer, but 'Eisa will place his hand between his shoulders and say to him: "Go forward and pray, for the Iqamah was given for you." Then their leader will lead them in prayer. When he has finished, 'Eisa (as), will say: "Open the gate." So they will open it and behind it will be Dajjal with seventy thousand Jews, each of them carrying an adorned sword and wearing a greenish cloak. When Dajjal looks at him, he will start to melt as salt melts in water. He will run away, and 'Eisa (as), will say: "I have only one blow for you, which you will not be able to escape!" He will catch up with him at the eastern gate of Ludd, and will kill him. Then Allah will defeat the Jews, and there will be nothing left that Allah has created which the Jews will be able to hide behind, except that Allah will cause it to speak - no stone, no tree, no wall, no animal - except for Al-Gharqad (the box-thorn), for it is one of their trees, and will not speak - except that it will say: "O Muslim slave of Allah, here is a Jews, come and kill him!""The Messenger of Allah (Peach be upon him) said: 'His (Dajjal's) days will number forty years: a year like half a year, a year like a month, a month like a week, and the rest of his days will be like sparks from a fire (i.e., they will pass quickly). One of you will enter the gate of Al-Madinah in the morning and not reach its other gate until evening comes.' It was said: 'O Messenger of Allah, how should we pray on those short days?' He said: 'Estimate (the times of) the prayer, as you do on these long days, then pray.' The Messenger of Allah (Peach be upon him) said: "Eisa bin Maryam (as), will be a just judge and a just ruler among my nation. He will break the cross, slaughter the pigs, abolish the Jizyah and charity will be left. No one will be appointed to (collect the Zakah of) sheep and camels. Grudges and mutual hatred will disappear and the venom of every venomous creature will be removed, so that a baby boy will but his hand in a snake and it will not harm him, and a baby girl will make a lion run away, and it will not harm her; and the wolf will be among the sheep like their sheepdog. The earth will be filled with peace just as a vessel is filled with water. The people will be united and none will be worshipped except Allah. War will cease and Quraish will no longer be in power. The earth will be like a silver platter, with its vegetation growing as it did at the time of Adam, until a group of people will gather around one bunch of grapes and it will suffice them, and a group will gather around a single pomegranate and it will suffice them. An ox will be sold for such and such amount of money, and a horse will be sold for a few Dirham.' They said: 'O Messenger of Allah, why will horses be so cheap?' He said: 'They will never be ridden in war again.' It was said to him: 'Why will oxen be so expensive?' He said: 'Because all the land will be tilled. Before Dajjal appears there will be three difficult years in which the people will suffer severe famine. In the first year, Allah will command the sky to withhold one third of its rain and the earth to withhold one third of its produce. In the second year, He will command the sky to withhold two thirds of its rain and the earth to withhold two-thirds of its produce. In the third year, he will command the sky to withhold all of its rain, and not a single drop will fall, and the earth to withhold all of its produce, and nothing will grow. All cloven-hoofed animals will die, except those that Allah wills.' It was said: 'What will the people live on at that time?' He said: 'Tahlil, Takbir, Tasbih and Tahmid. That will take the place of food for them.'"Abu 'Abdullah (Ibn Majah) said: "I heard Abul-Hasan Tanafisi say: 'I heard 'Abdur-Rahman Al-Muharibi say: "This Hadith should be sent to every teacher so that they can teach it to the children in the schools."

And part of his Fitnah will be that he will pass by a clan who will believe in him, so he will command the sky to rain, and it will rain, and he will command the earth to bring forth vegetation and it will do so, until their flocks will come back in the evening of that day, bigger and fatter than they have ever been, with their flanks stretched and their udders full of milk. There will be no part of the earth left that he does not enter and prevail over, except for Makkah and Al-Madinah, for he will not approach them on any of their mountain paths but he will be met by angels with unsheathed swords, until he will stop at the red hill at the end of the marsh. Then Al-Madinah will be shaken with its people three times, and no hypocrite, male or female, will be left, all will come out to him. Thus it will be cleansed of impurity just as the bellows cleanses the iron of dross. And that day will be called the Day of Deliverance.'"Umm Sharik bint Abi 'akar said: 'O Messenger of Allah, where will the Arabs be that day?' He said: 'On that day they will be few, and most of them will be in Baitul-Maqdis (Jerusalem), and their leader will be a righteous man. When their leader has stepped forward to lead them in subh prayer, 'Eisa bin Maryam will come down to them. Their leader will step backwards so that 'Eisa can come forward and lead the people in prayer, but 'Eisa will place his hand between his shoulders and say to him: "Go forward and pray, for the Iqamah was given for you." Then their leader will lead them in prayer. When he has finished, 'Eisa (as), will say: "Open the gate." So they will open it and behind it will be Dajjal with seventy thousand Jews, each of them carrying an adorned sword and wearing a greenish cloak. When Dajjal looks at him, he will start to melt as salt melts in water. He will run away, and 'Eisa (as), will say: "I have only one blow for you, which you will not be able to escape!" He will catch up with him at the eastern gate of Ludd, and will kill him. Then Allah will defeat the Jews, and there will be nothing left that Allah has created which the Jews will be able to hide behind, except that Allah will cause it to speak - no stone, no tree, no wall, no animal - except for Al-Gharqad (the box-thorn), for it is one of their trees, and will not speak - except that it will say: "O Muslim slave of Allah, here is a Jews, come and kill him!""The Messenger of Allah (Peach be upon him) said: 'His (Dajjal's) days will number forty years: a year like half a year, a year like a month, a month like a week, and the rest of his days will be like sparks from a fire (i.e., they will pass quickly). One of you will enter the gate of Al-Madinah in the morning and not reach its other gate until evening comes.' It was said: 'O Messenger of Allah, how should we pray on those short days?' He said: 'Estimate (the times of) the prayer, as you do on these long days, then pray.' The Messenger of Allah (Peach be upon him) said: "Eisa bin Maryam (as), will be a just judge and a just ruler among my nation. He will break the cross, slaughter the pigs, abolish the Jizyah and charity will be left. No one will be appointed to (collect the Zakah of) sheep and camels. Grudges and mutual hatred will disappear and the venom of every venomous creature will be removed, so that a baby boy will but his hand in a snake and it will not harm him, and a baby girl will make a lion run away, and it will not harm her; and the wolf will be among the sheep like their sheepdog. The earth will be filled with peace just as a vessel is filled with water. The people will be united and none will be worshipped except Allah. War will cease and Quraish will no longer be in power. The earth will be like a silver platter, with its vegetation growing as it did at the time of Adam, until a group of people will gather around one bunch of grapes and it will suffice them, and a group will gather around a single pomegranate and it will suffice them. An ox will be sold for such and such amount of money, and a horse will be sold for a few Dirham.' They said: 'O Messenger of Allah, why will horses be so cheap?' He said: 'They will never be ridden in war again.' It was said to him: 'Why will oxen be so expensive?' He said: 'Because all the land will be tilled. Before Dajjal appears there will be three difficult years in which the people will suffer severe famine. In the first year, Allah will command the sky to withhold one third of its rain and the earth to withhold one third of its produce. In the second year, He will command the sky to withhold two thirds of its rain and the earth to withhold two-thirds of its produce. In the third year, he will command the sky to withhold all of its rain, and not a single drop will fall, and the earth to withhold all of its produce, and nothing will grow. All cloven-hoofed animals will die, except those that Allah wills.' It was said: 'What will the people live on at that time?' He said: 'Tahlil, Takbir, Tasbih and Tahmid. That will take the place of food for them.'"Abu 'Abdullah (Ibn Majah) said: "I heard Abul-Hasan Tanafisi say: 'I heard 'Abdur-Rahman Al-Muharibi say: "This Hadith should be sent to every teacher so that they can teach it to the children in the schools."

IMPORTANT: All Scripture text has context and background. Scripture should never be read literally or in isolation. Always seek clarification from religious scholars and teachers. In general, Scripture adheres to four principles: (1) Literal Meaning - What the Scripture says (2) Historical Setting - The story events; how the Scripture was understood in its time (3) Grammar - The surrounding sentence and paragraph; textual context (4) Synthesis - A comparison with similar Scripture to give a better contextual understanding
